MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS the projects that Fila is currently developing for the world of school , where we propose paths , ideas and suggestions in the context of the children ’ s education to sustainability . A virtuous and coherent circle that goes from research to the product , substantiating our communication activity and sticking to our mission : producing safe and quality items to give shape and colour to creativity ” underlined Barbara Monti , Brand Manager Giotto at Fila .
The material used is 50 % regenerated polypropylene coming from the reprocessing of post-industrial waste with the regulatory requirements for toys as well as with the company ’ s internal specifications , each batch of regenerated polypropylene is first subject to compliance analyses at an accredited laboratory . Finally , the use of an IML label of PP has made the product entirely mono-material and therefore recyclable ”, commented Guya Boretti , R & D Specialist at Fila ( Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini ). “ We are very happy with the results achieved by our research and development team in cooperation with Mepol . Making containers for Giotto crayons and markers , able to combine quality and sustainability and offer schoolchildren beautiful , accessible , durable objects with a ‘ green soul ’ contributes to our broader approach to environmental issues and is linked to
